Donald Walter Holleder

West Point, 1956

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Dale Dickerhoof on November 23, 2010:

Major Holleder:

I was reading Sports Illustrated magazine today (November 22, 2010, issue) and saw a full page photo of you and your teammates. The caption described your illustrious football career and your untimely death. You were leading men in the photo; you were doing so when you were killed. I think you would be proud that you are remembered some 43 years after your death. However, given what I now know, suspect you are remembered each day. Be thou at peace, soldier.
